A huge thank you to Jesse for helping me secure offers from both of my MBA interviews, UW Foster GEMBA and USC IBEAR (full-time international MBA program). It was incredibly helpful to practice with Jesse, as he helped me refine my answers, manage random questions, and build confidence.
When I first reached out to Jesse, it was just one week before my MBA application interviews, and I was feeling incredibly anxious. However, this one-week preparation with Jesse was invaluable. Not only did I refine my interview answers, but I also gained confidence in my English-speaking skills as a non-native speaker, which significantly improved my overall performance. I highly recommend Jesse to anyone preparing for an English interview, especially those who may be struggling with confidence.
Beyond the general question preparation and interview process, I want to highlight three aspects that made working with Jesse truly exceptional:
1. Expert Guidance for My Unique Situation
Due to my unconventional background, I had some tough situations that needed careful explanation during the interview. Jesse, as an experienced native English-speaking MBA consultant with extensive professional experience, provided me with strategic and culturally appropriate solutions that aligned with Western expectations. The effectiveness of our approach was confirmed by the positive feedback I received from interviewers.
2. Personalized Support & Commitment
As Jesse emphasized in his introduction, he truly cares about ME—my achievements, my progress, and my success. This is the most important factor for me when seeking a consultant. Despite working across different time zones, he always made an effort to respond promptly and accommodate my schedule. Together, we designed the most efficient strategy to achieve my goals—deciding what I should practice independently, what we should work on together, and how to maximize our preparation time. He even devoted extra time to reviewing my recordings, ensuring I could make continuous improvements.
3. Encouragement & Confidence Building
One of the biggest challenges for me was my lack of confidence in my English-speaking skills. Jesse continuously encouraged me to express myself naturally and spontaneously, reminding me that clarity matters more than perfection. He reassured me that my speaking was absolutely fine and fully understandable, helping me shift my focus from trying to be flawless to simply being clear and confident. Thanks to Jesse’s guidance and encouragement, I was ultimately able to speak naturally, like having a real conversation—rather than sounding like a scripted robot.
I am incredibly grateful for Jesse’s support, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their English interview skills and boost their confidence. His expertise, dedication, and encouragement made all the difference in my MBA interview success!
